Bypass the 300KB limit on ringtones

To use a mp3 on the solstice it needs to be under 300KB. For those that just have to have a full song here is a little tip on how to do it. Credit goes to the eternity forum.

I have all my ringtones stored on my memory card. When you select a ringtone it also makes a copy on the phones file system. This extra copy will come in handy.

Set a under 300KB mp3 as your ringtone. Then connect your phone to your computer in media player mode or pc-studio mode and use pc-studio. Whichever you choose.

Navigate using your pc to the selected ringtone on your phone's filesystem and delete it. Now go to your memory card and take the song you want to use as your ringtone and put it into the tones folder where you just deleted the ringtone from. Now rename that song EXACTLY like the ringtone you deleted.

Disconnect and you are done.

The renamed song will now be your ringtone.

You would think Samsung would have done a lot of things but they didn't, go figure eh?

oh i meant the they didn't fix the part where you could trick the phone into exceeding the limit not ring for only thirty seconds part, sorry if i wasnt clear

I have found another way to trick the phone that may be easier for some. I downloaded the program "audicity" (free,google it) and reduced the quality to 16 bit, this let me about 2:20 of a song and make it a 295kb ringtone. The tone plays for the full time. You have to use a trial and error method to get your tone under 300kb.

This method doesn't limit you to the number of built in tones.
